How do you pronounce "Meme"?

[Deleted]

Meh-meh when I use it when speaking swedish because it feels wrong otherwise though I know it's really "meem"

[Duridi]

Meh-meh because that's how it's read in norwegian.

H at the end just to illustrate that it isn't "me-me" as in the word me. I am not actually saying "Meh!".

[Deviat]

It rhymes with cream, which only leaves ONE correct pronunciation.

[The Ogdru Jahad]

meem...is that even a question? Never heard it pronounced AN other way

[ghostkitteh]

I always called my grandmother Meme, since I was a baby. Always have just said me-me. *shrugs*

[LocNess]

Meem. Never knew there were other ways till my friend came up two weeks ago saying "Mee-mee" and I was like LOLWHAT?

[Marimba]

This always used to bother me, I always said meh-meh but I wasn't sure so I looked it up, its meem.

[Lefeng]

I've always pronounced it "mem," like the French word for "same."

[Arrashi]

Meme should be pronouced like "scream".

[NatePsy]

Mem-may lol

[Sundreamer]

meh-meh sounds more fun than meem

[Dawkins]

It's pronounced "Meem"

Dawkins has spoken

Another fun poll: How do you pronounce "Meme"?

Poll inc ^^

Really you messed up the actual phonetic spelling. It is /ˈmiːm/ as in Gene, Jean, Teen. So to do it using English spelling based on sound Meam.

[Soisoisoi]

I pronounce it "Me-Me" even though I do know it is supposed to be pronounced "Meem" because every time I say the latter people always ask me what it is. >.>

Meem, like 'me-eam'

[Powerogue]

was mee-mee for the longest time, trying to transition to what is apparently the correct "meem"

all these other ridiculous sounding pronunciations, may-may, really?

[kaelyor]

I don't pronounce it. I like to keep Internet things on the Internet.

So how do you think it? You're not telling me that you conceive of it in a way in which it is totally removed from the idea of saying it out loud? Because that is ridiculous.

OT: Meem. That is just the right way, sorry guys.

Meh-Meh or Meh-May.

Wat, people pronouncing "meme" meem?! :C

Even if you didn't know the origins of the word, that it was a neologism meaning a little bit of idea like a gene is to genetics, there's no sound reason for an English speaker to think it would be pronounced "mee-mee'. I get thinking it would be pronounced 'may-may' because I speak Spanish (poorly) as my second language and it would be analagous to 'bebe' which is pronounced 'bay-bay'.

Guess what I'm getting at is why exactly are other people's incorrect pronunciations 'ridiculous' but 'mee-mee' isn't?

[Raht]

Meh-Meh or Meh-May.

Wat, people pronouncing "meme" meem?! :C

People pronoucing Yellow "yell-o?"

Holy shit, all this time I've been pronouncing it yay-el-ow (like ow my back)

Wtf is wrong with you people.
